Description: Intro to a second generation KOR fic.
Comments: Doesn't look too bad, but the author seems like they might be
one of those people who doesn't have the writing speed to handle the
project they've taken on. After all, I've seen these prologues before,
and there doesn't seem to be a full length chapter to go with them.

Description: Ranma and Akane go to the same school when they are
twelve. This time they discover that they are actually engaged.
Comments: The marriage contract in the main continuity was between
Ranma and any of the Tendo daughters. Apart from that quibble,
this is getting kind of dull without any serious complications.
Everything is just going too smoothly.

takes on three dimensional form to encourage him.
Comments: Quite good for a story of frustrated teen romance.

JJ Corley <ronin_salsolo@geocities.com>
Description: Ranma 'fesses up to his mother about the curse and she
immediately declares him manly and offers to break the marriage contract
by getting him adopted away from his father. Then he severs the
engagement to Shampoo with unbelievable and goes off with Ukyo to
be part of the Masaki family.
Comments: Highly contrived, not very exciting and rife with spelling
errors. Many stories, even ones like "Hearts of Ice" have begun too
soon, starting the story too far in advance of the action and I think
this story is one of them. The author would be better advised to just
begin with Ranma's arrival at the Masakis' and forget most of this
chapter, just leaving a brief flashback to the scene where he parts from
Akane which was quite good.
Oh, and the rationale for severing the relationship with Shampoo doesn't
work in the least. The first time Ranma beat Shampoo, there was no
accident about it. It would be better if Shampoo and company had just
decided to give up and go home if you don't like her and don't want to
keep her.

Description: Having screwed up in the United States, Akane has gotten
herself jailed, and Genma is on his way to the zoo.
Comments: Akane was phoning the hotel room. Nabiki was at the hotel
room. Why didn't she get the call? Surely she didn't rush out to
Genma's aid? Incidentally, given that the author had Akane busting up
pavement with Ranma in the first chapter, why would Ranma even wonder
about his ability to break Genma free of the park bench?

Description: Ranma returns from his 10 year training trip with his
fiancee, Nabiki.
Comments: I have trouble believing that Genma would subject Nabiki to
the Cat-Fist training. That's his friend's daughter, not his own son.
Also, Ranma would object vigorously to Nabiki telling the others about
his fear of cats. In fact, you have Nabiki telling us far too much
about their history. There's no need for exposition about Shampoo and
Mousse until Shampoo and Mousse show up.
"All right Kasumi. I already told you all that Ranma and I beat the
village's best martial artists, Mousse and Shampoo, to prove we worth
"were worth"

From:
"Tracy Garnett" <crikit@geocities.com>
Description: After Genma commits seppuku, Nodoka takes her son/daughter
to a kingdom ruled by the Tendo dynasty where Nodoka, who suddenly
becomes strangely inclined to sing, becomes the tutor
to the Tendo daughters, and Ranma's female guise is ordered to instruct
the youngest daughter in the grace and politeness that she so noticeably
lacks.
Comments: Surprisingly hard to describe.
On the whole, I'd prefer it if the subject of seppuku was avoided and
Ranma just left it at, "After Pop died, my mom decided...". Really,
Suiren (very good pseudonym) should do something to impress with Soun
with how graceful she is before Soun gets this brilliant idea, and the
author should come up with some reason why Ranma would be in a dress.
Princess Akane would probably have long hair.

Description: Ranma goes to the beach in a skimpy bikini. Everyone else
shows up coincidentally, including <shudder> Happosai.
Comments: I agree. Since Happosai has no problem draining Ranma in
female form he shouldn't have a problem with Ranma's lingerie. It would
be far better to let Happy have a mishap with Konatsu's undies.
Speaking of which...surely Konatsu would seem very flat-chested in a
bathing suit.
in one of the change booths that dotted the beach. She intended to
swim first, which mwant one of the one-pieces. But which one?
"meant"
The mallet factory outlet was, by the way, an inspired moment.
